Friends Friends are the people you can trust, You know that you can count on them in a pinch. You know they are the ones who make you happy, They bring out joy, And push back defeat. They are the ones that keep us going, Even after we have giving up. Friends bring forth the best in life, And their words stay with us for the rest of ours. They are best things we have around us, And no one can break the closest of bonds. I wish I could say much more, But this time seems so short, When compared to the time we have to know each other. You are a great friend, Funny, happy and always there to help. What more could one man ask for? You bring up a side I try to hide, You are so nice even though I know not why. You are so good and so sweet, Knowing you has been such a treat. This poem is for you, And from it know this. You are good and deserve the best, So forget about all the rest. Life will be fair and give you everything, As you have giving equally to it. Brad Campbell October 6/99
